Another majestic capture of a majestic bird by you Paul! The detail is amazing. enjoy looking at the feathers and the intensity in the eye is fascinating.....so focused. I love how the yellow around the eye matches the yellow of the beak. This is something one would not have the chance to see if we didn't have photographers like you lurking around,capturing photo's of these beauties! Well done my friend. Into my favorites folder on my harddrive as well as into my caedes.net screensaver slideshow folder. Thanks :~)

Wow Paul the clarity and the sharpness of this image is eye popping. Simpley amazing capture this is.

Ouf! Perfectly focused... Do you miss a photo, sometimes? ;-)

Just brilliant!!! Perfect focus!!! Well done...

All of the above...Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

perfect.

Oh wow!! This is beautiful! Gorgeous shot!

Hello Paul.....Great work....You had a good idea, found a way of capturing it effectively, and bagged the the shot you wanted....thats what photography is all about...All the best...Mick.

Incredibly crisp image, great work!!

Holy smokes! That's one seriously clear and glorious capture!! Awesome.

Stunning and quite majestic....almost as majestic as an eagle in flight!

Nice picture, very good clarity.

It doesn't get much better than this, Paul. A golden eagle?
High marks from me. Thanks for sharing this one...

Mike

Wonderful shot. You got a big one from me on this. The clarity is off the hook. Did you promise him fish for that pose?

Fantastic shot.

Yep, that's what I'm beginning to wonder...do you ever make a mistake? Just once? So the rest of us can feel normal? I mean, must this bird be perfectly focused? Must ALL the colors in this photo be pleasing and and sharp and clear? Must the beak of this bird look so real I draw back from it? Your disgusting, that's what. Perfect, simply perfect...EVERY time. All your photos...I think....I'm going...too...too...break down...(whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

WOW! Paul! what an amazing shot! You are a great photographer! Nice work! 10 of 10!

The Eagle has landed. Beautiful, Can even see he dosen't have any fleas. 10/10

Perfect all the way...
Great work!
10/10 and go into my favorites... :-))

i saw this in the permanent gallery when i arranged them by C-index (best first) so a double congrats for just that alone. this is an incredible capture. and i dont mind saying you're one of my favorite photographers on the site, if not THE favorite. kudos.

btw, some of your work is reminiscent of Ansel Adams' creations. was he an influence?

Just about perfect!

this is amazing! i absolutely love it!

Beautiful creature!!! Thank you for sharing!!! This is an excellent shot of an excellent creature!!!! :)

It does not get any better than this. Perfect capture.

Great photo! I love the clarity of the picture.
Just wondering, what camera/lens did you use for this photo?

Mike
